Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $72,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of th

ree years, or 18,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $4,500. The equipment was used for 7,600 hours during Year 1, 6,000 hours in Year 2, and 4,400 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ending December 31, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1? 3. What method yields the most depreciation over the three-year life of the equipment?

Answer:

<h2>Dexter Industries</h2>

1. Depreciation Expense for the three years ending December 31:

i) Straight-line Method:

Depreciation charge = (Cost - Residual Value)/Useful life

= Depreciable amount/useful life

Annual Depreciation = ($72,000 - $4,500)/3 = $22,500

Depreciation Expense:

Year 1      $22,500

Year 2     $22,500

Year 3     $22,500

ii) Units-of-Activity Method

Depreciable amount x (hours used/useful life in hours)

or Depreciable amount per hour x hours used

Depreciable amount = $72,000 - $4,500 = $67,500

Depreciation Expense:

Year 1      $28,500 (7,600/18,000 x $67,500) or 7,600 x $3.75

Year 2     $22,500 (6,000/18,000 x $67,500) or 6,000 x $3.75

Year 3     $16,500 (4,400/18,000 x $67,500) or 4,400 x $3.75

iii) Double-Declining-Balance Method

Steps:

Divide 100/useful life = 33.33333%.  This is the straight-line percentage.

Multiply this by 2, to obtain the percentage for double-declining method.

This gives 66.66666%

Depreciation Expenses:

Year 1 = $48,000 ($72,000 x 66.66666%)

Year 2 = $16,000 (($72,000 - $48,000) x 66.66666%))

Year 3 = $3,500  not $5,000 (($72,000 - $48,000 - $16,000) x 66.66666%))

The last year's depreciation cannot exceed the book value less the residual value.

1B) Total Depreciation Expense for the three years by each method:

i) Straight-line Method

Total Depreciation = $22,500 x 3 = $67,500

ii) Units-of-Activity Method

Total Depreciation = $67,500 ($28,500 + 22,500 + 16,500)

iii) Double-Declining-Balance Method

Total Depreciation = $67,500 ($48,000 + 16,000 + 3,500)

2. The method that yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1:

The Double-Declining-Balance Method

3. The method that yields the most depreciation over the three-year life of the equipment:

None.  They yield the same total depreciation because of the presence of the residual value.

Explanation:

1) Cost of Equipment = $72,000

Useful Life = 3 years or 18,000 operating hours

Residual Value = $4,500

2) Depreciation is systematic reduction of the recorded cost of a long-term asset until the asset's value becomes zero or negligible.  It is an accounting estimate based on the entity's judgement.  It is a way of spreading the cost of a noncurrent asset in accordance with the accrual concept and matching principle over the periods that benefit from the long-term asset.  There are many methods which can be adopted.

Given the mixed cost formula, Y = $16,000 + $3.40X, total cost for an activity level of 4,000 units would be:
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

D) $29,600

Explanation:

The mixed cost formula gives the relationship between the cost and the level of activities. It shows the cost as a function of the activity level.

The formula also shows that the cost is made up of a fixed element ($16,000) and a variable element ($3,40X).

Hence at an activity level of 4000 units,

Y = $16,000 + $3.40(4000)

= $29,600

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

White Company has two departments, Cutting and Finishing. The company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermin
NeX [460]

Answer:

1. Cutting Department = $8.99 per machine hour and Finishing Department = $11.53 per direct labor hour.

2. The  total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203 is $2,058.46.

3. Yes. Plant wide pre-determined overhead rate does not consider the cost driver in the departments involved.

Explanation:

<em>Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity</em>

Cutting Department = $390,000 / 43,400

                                 = $8.99 per machine hour

Finishing Department = $496,000 / 43,000

                                    = $11.53 per direct labor hour

<u>Total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203.</u>

Direct materials

Cutting Department                             $ 745.00

Finishing Department                          $ 370 .00

Direct labor costs

Cutting Department                              $ 43.00

Finishing Department                          $ 210.00

Variable manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($2.00 × 43)         $86.00

Finishing Department ($2.00 × 4)          $8.00

Variable manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($3.75 × 3)              $11.25

Finishing Department ($3.75 × 13)        $48.75

Fixed manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($8.99 × 43)        $386.57

Finishing Department ($11.53 × 13)       $149.89

Total                                                   $2,058.46
